OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – An Oklahoma elementary graduation upset a neighbor who claimed the celebration was too loud and the noise needed to stop.

The last day of class at Santa Fe South Spero Elementary School in south Oklahoma City looked different this May. The school’s administration organized a drive-by summer send-off party for nearly 500 students.

Shit, I never even heard of an elementary school graduation up until a few years ago. When I was a kid there was no fanfare, no feel-good celebrations, no snowflake ceremonies, we just moved up from 6th to 7th grade. The only difference was we went from beating 5th grader's asses to having our asses beat by 8th graders.
